The Vancouver Sun gleefully reported Monday the discovery of a letter that Hunter S. Thompson wrote in 1958, applying for a job with the paper. Shamefully, the Sun did not take the doctor up on his offer.

Fans of newswheel station News 1130 have been getting a little salsa with their traffic on the ones. New Portland radio station 1130 KPWX AM La Mexicana has aimed their antennas northward, playing a soundtrack behind News 1130’s news, traffic, and weather that makes you want to move.

We’d like you all to meet our new intern, Tim Craddock (pictured above). Tim is a student of journalism at Kwantlen University, which is… well we have no actual idea what/where it is. Somewhere close? We hope. Anyways, Tim wrote today’s Random Interview, and he’s making us all pizza for dinner tonight in a wood burning oven we made him weld together over the weekend. Thick crust, Tim, or it’s your balls.

Yesterday we picked up our new copy of the April issue of Vice with 19-year-old porn star Sasha Grey on the cover, and took it home to “read” in the privacy of our darkened office. Unfortunately our browsing was interrupted by a luminous green hue that could not be attributed back to our own organic matter. A quick on and off of the lights revealed something resembling a car glowing in the dark right on the cover. So, April… fool’s? Apparently not. We did some internetting, and it seems BMW actually paid to have this futuristic advertisement reveal itself on the cover of the youth-oriented publication, but only when said publication is rendered unreadable, in the dark. Genius.

Ooh ouch! I failed to notice, but when I was unsuccessfully looking for Emilie Ullerup bikini pics online I found out that CBC completely jacked the actual episode 11 that was supposed to run a coupla weeks back when they were figure skating and they didn’t even bother to run it or say anything! Leaving me, the only remaining viewer, to believe that there was some kind of crappy Lost-esque time puke going down. No sir though, and that there episode 11 is actually now episode 12. They just threw that guy right in the shitter, and I didn’t notice because I am too scrupulous to recognize such buffoonery, and was actually, truly, crapping during the pre-ep round-up (no jokes, I swear). Honestly, if I was Doug Coupland or his personal assistant I’d be fucking pissed! Hell, I’d probably write a fictional account of the whole incident that was a real drag to read. Works every time.
